No More Suspicion (2)

elevator flickered incessantly until they reached their limit and stopped. The elevator doors opened to reveal a luxurious red carpet, followed by a hallway that stretched as far as the eye could see....After arriving, Rong Sanbo was very decisive. He briefly asked Jiang Yichen a few questions and then directly told him what he should do next, as well as what Jiang Chengfeng should do. He also stated that he would help with this, even going so far as to guarantee that the positions of both of them would not be shaken.

Without beating around the bush, Rong Sanbo's style is straightforward and to the point, something that Jiang Yancheng will remember tonight for a lifetime. When someone in a position of power speaks to you directly, it shows they value you and are being completely sincere.

After the conversation, Rong Sanbo let the Jiang family go home to prepare properly and did not invite them to stay for dinner. After all, he didn't expect his actions to be met with gratitude from the Jiang family. He had saved their lives, but that doesn't mean they would feel comfortable being warmly received. It was better to let them go home and digest what had happened today. Attitudes aren't changed overnight.

And to be honest, Rong Sanbo really doesn't care. If he lived his life solely based on other people's opinions, he wouldn't have achieved his current position. He helped out simply because he valued one person—Lin Meng!

"I specially asked my aunt to buy some vegetables. You guys can have dinner here tonight!"

After Jiang Yichen and his family had left, Rong Sanbo turned his head and said something. However, when he spoke, he wasn't looking at Rong Ling, but Lin Meng.

This is a test!

The Rong family has never considered themselves to be paragons of virtue. Rong Sanbo doesn't care if Jiang Yichen is grateful or not, but he will use this incident to try to improve his standing in Lin Meng's eyes. The Rong family are all good at seizing opportunities. As for whether it's despicable or not, it doesn't matter. What ultimately matters is that the outcome is positive!

Lin Meng smiled and naturally replied, "Okay!"

A faint smile appeared on his usually stern face, and he began to talk with Rong Ling about the Jiang family. After roughly confirming everything, he summoned the two young boys in front of him, inquired about their studies and put them through a certain examination. In the end, the results were, as expected, very satisfactory to him.

It was during this period of examination that Rong Man and her husband, Chi Shao Zheng, also came together. Rong San Bo only had one daughter, and Chi Shao Zheng, as his son-in-law, was practically half a son. This family spent most of their time here. Especially Xiao Mu Mu, who spent almost all of her time here.

"Here!" Rong Sanbo raised his eyes and uttered a bland greeting. This attitude towards his own daughter was in stark contrast to the enthusiasm he had shown towards Lin Meng just moments ago.

Rong Man responded with a dry "Hmm," her expression suggesting something had transpired between her and Rong Sanbo. Lin Meng noticed this, feeling a tinge of curiosity but refraining from asking.

This is someone else's family business, she shouldn't meddle this much. [..tw super many good novels] Besides, previously because of Xiaomumu's disappearance, she and Rong Man weren't on very good terms, and until now, they are not close either, so there's no need to inquire about it specifically. Unexpectedly, Rong Man expressed affection towards her alone.

"Mengmeng, could you help me take a look at something" she asked with a smile, her face filled with anticipation.

She had a flicker of doubt in her mind, but she agreed nonetheless.

Okay!

At the very least, this is Rong Ling's "Auntie Man," and also Xiaomumu's mother. It stands to reason that in such a situation, she wouldn't do anything too out of line. Moreover, up to now, Rong Man's character she understands to some extent. Her liking or disliking for someone is directly shown on the surface, and she wouldn't scheme behind someone's back.

When Lin Meng followed Rong Man, Rong Ling didn't say a word to stop her. Lin Meng knew she could definitely feel more at ease now.

Rong Man led Lin Meng upstairs and to the room she had lived in both before and after her marriage. When they reached the dressing table with a large mirror, Rong Man pulled up a chair and smiled.

"Come, have a seat first."

Lin Meng didn't refuse and sat down.

Rong Man pulled open a drawer of the dressing table and took out a purple velvet box, about ten centimeters long and three centimeters wide. Opening it with one hand, she held it up and presented it to Lin Meng.

"Help me see, does it look good"

It looks great!

Undeniably beautiful!

The pendant structure of flowers, leaves, and fruit is very pleasing to the eye. The emerald green leaves, crimson petals, milky white heart, and pale yellow stamens, together with the inlaid gemstones, make this flower and leaf extremely delicate. The dark brown flower branches hang down two small red fruits like pearls, which look very round and cute, giving people a feeling of joy when they see flowers blooming and bearing fruit. The main chain structure is also surprising, formed by many platinum chains intertwined, resembling tree vines winding around a big tree.

This is metaphorical, extremely beautiful, and liked by Lin Meng.

This necklace wasn't particularly valuable. Based on her recent research into gems, these multicoloured stones were probably mostly agate, garnet, peridot, moonstone, jadeite, and red coral. However, it took real skill to assemble these gemstones naturally without making them look out of place.

As she understood it, Rong Man had a particularly large hobby, which was designing jewelry. This necklace, it's very possible, is her work.

"It's so beautiful!" This wasn't a compliment she made out of politeness, but her genuine opinion.

"Really" Rong Man seemed rather uncertain.

Lin Meng just laughed. "If I saw this chain for sale outside, I would buy it!"

There was a smile in Rong Man's eyes.

"Here you go!" she suddenly said.

Lin Meng was a little stunned.

"This is something I made myself, for you," Rong Man explained, a blush crossing her face. "This is also my way of apologizing to you. Before, my attitude towards you wasn't very good. About the incident with Mu Mu, I wrongly blamed you as well, but I owe you a formal apology. So I took some time and made this necklace especially for you, hoping you'll accept it and receive my apology. This necklace isn't valuable, but it comes from my heart. Rong Ling, that man, I've always treated him like my own younger brother. Instinctively, I want the best for him and hope he has the best woman by his side. Because I didn't understand you before, I got the wrong impression of you at first and had some resistance towards you. But these past few days, you've surprised me and impressed me. Thank you for what you did with my father's affairs. Thank you also for your help with the Rong family matters. And thanks to you, my father and Rong Ling are able to recover their relationship like before.All in all, I was wrong before, I hope you can be magnanimous and accept this apology from me. Then, let us have a fresh start, okay"

She looked at her earnestly, her lower lip slightly bitten, revealing her nervousness and embarrassment. As the daughter of Rong Sanbo, a figure who was the envy of all, for her to bow her head like this was quite difficult. And to speak so frankly from the heart... It's even more unusual. But none of these would be the reason she accepted this gift. Because she didn't need anyone's favor. In her own world, she was the queen!

But this is Rong Man, the daughter of Rong San Bo, Rong Ling's "Sister Man". For the sake of her own man and Rong San Bo, since she has shown kindness, she will accept it.

Reaching out, she gracefully and without melodrama accepted the gift.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore. I really like this gift!"

As Ru Rongman said, let's start anew. If the heart is sincere, friendship will naturally last forever!

Time will prove everything!

Rong Man finally burst into laughter, her expression radiating carefree joy. She pulled up another chair and sat down beside Lin Meng, starting a conversation about Rong Ling's past. After all, to cultivate friendship, it was natural to begin with things both parties were familiar and interested in, and Rong Ling was an excellent choice. Besides, the topic of raising children was also a good one. However, Rong Man didn't delve too deep into that, as she had dinner on her mind. Sure enough, not long after they went downstairs, dinner was served.

After the Rong family left, Rong Man entered her Third Uncle's study alone.

"Dad—," she stuck out her tongue. "Mengmeng accepted my apology."

Rong Sanbo snorted. "This is something that should have been done long ago! It's dragged on for too long!"

Rong Man walked up to Rong Sanbo's back and skillfully started massaging his shoulders. She acted coquettishly, saying, "Dad, I was panicking at the time, and all I could think about was your well-being—"

Róng Sān Bó then shook his head.

"Stop making excuses. You, sometimes you're too stubborn. Once you have a certain impression of someone, it's hard to change. You need to work on this, in the future, listen to Shao Zheng's opinion more."

When Xiaomumu was found, it was still Chi Shaozheng who persuaded her and took her to apologize. But she only apologized verbally and made no further gestures. Her sincerity was too lacking. Chi Shaozheng loved her and also respected Rong Sanbo as his father-in-law, so he could only watch Rong Man's whims and wouldn't force her. However, Rong Sanbo, as a father, had to reprimand her without being polite. It was precisely because Rong Sanbo scolded Rong Man and woke her up that she came up with this elaborate apology.

Rongman hummed a few times, without arguing. She had always valued her father's words from childhood to adulthood.

When Rong Sanbo saw this, he didn't say anything more!

My daughter has two good qualities: she knows when she's wrong and is willing to change, and once she approves of someone, she will wholeheartedly devote herself to that person. With this start today, things from now on will basically take care of themselves. Because Lin Meng is the type who, if you're good to me, I'll definitely be even better to you. My daughter doesn't need to do much; just normal interactions with Lin Meng will be enough.

Over there, it also means the same thing. I have to say, these two uncle and nephew share a powerful common thinking!

Rong Man's gift-giving was a kind gesture, and Lin Meng certainly couldn't keep it from Rong Ling. After hearing this, Rong Ling said.

"Dating her, just be yourself. You are my wife, there's no need to please others or compromise yourself. I'm here for you!"

Because he is already powerful enough!

Lin Meng lazily rested her head against his thigh, a slight upturn of her lips betraying a smile. The necklace she was playing with in her slightly raised hand was, coincidentally, the one Rong Man had gifted her.

Rong Ling turned the original book in her hand, continuing to read. With the other hand, she played with her beautiful hair, back and forth. But even with her eyes downcast, a watchful gaze seemed to follow her from somewhere unseen.

This is the love in silent depths!

Intense yet understated, silent yet powerful!

The next day, an unexpected visitor arrived at their home. It was the elderly woman Lin Meng had rescued on the road a long time ago. When Lin Meng received the notification and saw the elderly woman on the monitor screen, she couldn't believe it. After all, that was a long time ago. The apology came rather late. However, seeing the young man surnamed He accompanying her, she felt that everything seemed to make sense. If this young man surnamed He was truly as she guessed...

Since the person came to him, Lin Meng couldn't just push them away. He recounted the events of that day in detail to Rong Ling, who confirmed the identity of the young man. He was He Li Jie, He Wen's cousin and He Chang's nephew, who had just returned from studying abroad. As for the elderly woman surnamed Cai, although she wasn't He Chang's mother, she was more like one to him. During the Cultural Revolution, He Chang's parents were both persecuted and died prematurely. Young He Chang ended up living in a different place and was taken care of by this Mrs. Cai. The kindness she showed him was greater than heaven itself, and He Chang held her in very high regard. However, not many people knew about this.

Rong Ling had looked into this a long time ago, but she kept it to herself. Since the He family wanted to pretend they understood while acting clueless, then let them be. It was just a kindness for her own woman to have saved someone; consider it a good deed for the day.

However, after so long, the He family brought up the matter of gratitude again, and it was impossible to avoid the role played by the Jiang family in this. Both the Jiang and He families meant to be in-laws, and He Wen obviously had her eyes on Jiang Chengfeng, determined to get him. In this situation, the Jiang family not only turned swords into plowshares but also owed them a favor. Naturally, the He family had to make some moves. Furthermore, considering the current status of the Rong family, the He family probably didn't want to stand against them. Therefore, bringing out the previous suppressed expression of gratitude was an opportunity.
